Animal Match: A Magnetic Complete-The-Picture Book [With 16 Magnetic Play Pieces]

In another animal-themed approach, Animal Match by Simone Abel asks youngsters to place 16 magnetized animal pieces (all on a pull-out tray that acts as the book's front cover) on four spreads of different habitats (each gets a spread in an oversize chunky board book). Color and picture clues will aid youngest readers, while older children can match animals to their habitats based on questions (e.g., ""What swings through the trees and lives in a group?"").
